| Okay, what about things like STREAM-ELEMENT-TYPE and
| STREAM-EXTERNAL-FORMAT?
|
| I take it that Erik Naggum will say that CLOSE should not change the
| return values of these functions.
Yes. I regard close as modifying one property of a stream, because it is
important to be able to reopen the stream correctly after it has been
closed.
